About
Ginger Wildheart (born David Walls; 17 December 1964 in South Shields, in the North East of England) is a rock guitarist, singer and songwriter, best known for his band The Wildhearts.

Ginger saw his first success as a member of the English band The Quireboys. After being sacked, he went on to form The Wildhearts.

Whilst intermittently continuing with various incarnations of The Wildhearts, he has also formed a variety of side projects, including a number of solo albums.

These projects include:
Super$hit 666, with Dregen of Backyard Babies and Nicke Andersson of The Hellacopters, releasing Super$hit 666 E.P. (1999)

Clam Abuse, with Alex Kane, releasing Stop Thinking (1999)

Silver Ginger 5, releasing Black Leather Mojo (2000). This album was originally intended as Ginger's first solo album, but was released under the name Silver Ginger 5. A new band was formed to perform the material live, consisting of Conny Bloom of Hanoi Rocks and Electric Boys) on guitar and backing vocals; Jon Poole of the Cardiacs (and later of The Wildhearts) on bass and backing vocals; and Ritch Battersby of The Wildhearts and Grand Theft Audio on drums.

Brides of Destruction: Ginger was briefly a member of this supergroup in 2005 but did not play on any recordings. He co-wrote some songs for the band's album Runaway Brides and played guitar for part of a tour, but then left the band acrimoniously. The bassist for Brides of Destruction at the time, Scott Sorry, later joined The Wildhearts.

Ginger & The Sonic Circus, releasing Valor Del Corazon (2005) and the single "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah."

Howling Willie Cunt, releasing World of Filth (2006). Ginger has never actually admitted that he is Howling Willie Cunt, instead insisting that Howling Willie is another person that he (Ginger) met while in America and that Cunt is signed to his record label, Round Records.

In mid-2007, Ginger guested as the vocalist for The Scorchers in place of his hero Jason Ringenberg, billed as "Ginger and The Scorchers" on a few dates in the UK. No studio work is to be recorded.

In 2012 Ginger Wildheart also started the Hey! Hello! project with Victoria Liedtke.

Ginger is also listed as the producer of the album World of Filth, released by Howling Willie Cunt, with Ginger and Howling Willie Cunt rumored to be the same person.
